Question

Bouquet stage is observed in ................ stage of the cell division.

• A. Leptotene
• B. Zygotene
• C. Diplotene
• D. Pachytene

Answer 1

The correct option is A Leptotene

In the first substage of prophase I, leptotene is also known as leptonema and as the bouquet stage because all the telomeres tend to contact the nuclear envelope in one spot so that the looped chromosomes balloon out from that point like flower petals.

So, the correct answer is option A.
